Oceans of Time OFFICIAL STORE LINKS: https://greenlung.bfan.link/thllp.ibi 'Ever walked in ancient forests or foggy mountains and got the impression that something’s with you, an echo, a shadow just out of sight? It’s this – plus a dose of the witchy cult horror that entranced them as kids – that motivates British coven Green Lung’s doomy, metalized take on classic rock. THIS HEATHEN LAND is its third and perhaps ultimate manifestation. Eight songs plus a spoken word intro is all this is, but it’s all that it needs to be. Welcome to Green Lung’s weird church' Kerrang! (5/5) https://www.kerrang.com/album-review-green-lung-this-heathen-land 'London's stoner-doom heroes have brewed up a beguiling, surprisingly diverse concoction of killer riffs, bewitching folklore and knockout songs ... the sheer quality of songwriting edges ever upwards' Metal Hammer https://www.loudersound.com/reviews/green-lung-this-heathen-land 'Having casually established their unique position as arch blenders of thunderous doom metal, organ-driven '70s rock, pastoral psychedelia and all manner of occult and witch-friendly imagery and folklore, Green Lung's move to a big label was inevitable. There is actual magic afoot, folks. THIS HEATHEN LAND is an insanely great record, and Green Lung deserve to be massive' Blabbermouth https://blabbermouth.net/reviews/this-heathen-land 'THIS HEATHEN LAND is a remarkable success on all fronts for Green Lung. It’s easily their most polished and engaging work to date in spellbinding fashion. Celebrating and exploring not only the mystical occult history of Albion, but also of the classic sound of British hard-rock, occult rock and the early days of Heavy Metal. The sheer amount of catchy melodies, hooks, guitar and organ solo’s, as well as chorus’ is absurd in principle, but Green Lung have absolutely stuffed This Heathen Land to the brim with quality songwriting and infectious ear-worms that never overstay their welcome' Noizze https://www.noizze.co.uk/green-lung-this-heathen-land-album-review/ 'The aural equivalent of visiting a rock festival at Summerisle ... one of the best rock albums this year, and you get the sense that they have just started to hit their stride too. A fantastic blast of occult hard rock' Echoes & Dust https://echoesanddust.com/2023/10/green-lung-this-heathen-land/ 'After releasing one of the best albums of 2021, with the immense Black Harvest London based doomsters Green Lung have set the bar pretty high and the expectations surrounding their third album, THIS HEATHEN LAND have been palpable, and with the mysterious intro, they entice you headlong into their world of ‘70s rock, folklore and the occult. This will no doubt make it into many people’s AOTY lists, as it’s a fantastic album full of doomy, occult rock magnificence' The Sleeping Shaman https://www.thesleepingshaman.com/reviews/green-lung-this-heathen-land/ 'The true quality of Green Lung is in their musicianship, these are really accomplished musicians playing well written songs with energy and verve. With some incredible guitar and keyboard solos and the memorable vocals of Tom Templar along with a super tight and pounding rhythm section Green Lung are set up to carry the crown of British Doom as defined by Black Sabbath. They combine the occult and spooky elements of the British Isles with catchy riffs and hooks to come up with supremely listenable heavy metal, a folk horror atmosphere and real swagger. This may be a heathen land but its one with great music!' The Razor's Edge https://therazorsedge.rocks/2023-10-album-review-green-lung-this-heathen-land/ 'THIS HEATHEN LAND is another chance to welcome the Devil into your hearts, down at the forest church naturally. Grab it with both hands' At the Barrier https://atthebarrier.com/2023/11/02/green-lung-this-heathen-land-album-review/
